He's dude in black with the cap in the picture above.\n\nHe had cancer.\n\nNo,<br> we were not very close.\n\nNo,<br> we didn't talk a lot.\n\nHeck,<br> I didn't even hang out with him in person once.\n\nAnd no,<br> this post is certainly not a typical \"talk goods about someone only after they die.\"\n\nDespite the fact that we were not close friends,<br> he made a mark in my life.\n\nI started messaging him on Facebook last year after I found out he had cancer. Back then,<br> he was in remission. \n\nI was honestly intrigued to hear about his perspective on life. I mean,<br> not everyone has a truly unique view on life. You can't deny that.\n\nHe was cool enough to share with me how he was feeling.\n\nI remember him saying,<br> while in remission,<br> \"People make it like such a big deal,<br> but really,<br> it was like having a flu only.\"\n\nUnique huh?\n\nFrom there on,<br> I always was willing to hit him up for a chat. When I thought of him,<br> I knew there was a genuine connection,<br> something rare today for most of us.\n\nAlas,<br> the grips of cancer came back.\n\nPersonally for me,<br> I am always intrigued by people who are unique,<br> in whatever way and have a different outlook on life. We don't have to be close. If you give me your uniqueness,<br> I'll remember you forever and I'll always be grateful for that.\n\nI find it ironic how most people here suddenly feel close to someone after they leave this world. To me,<br> that's fundamentally wrong.\n\nYes,<br> you shouldn't take others for granted and the time everyone has here.\n\nYes,<br> open up and cherish the time with people you care for.\n\nBut do it in your unique way and included in that,<br> sincerity,<br> honesty and an intention to serve.\n\nAnything below that,<br> well,<br> it's just a transaction. \n\nRest In Power brother.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"busy\",<br>\"app\":\"busy\/2.5.4\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"tags\":[\"life\",<br>\"death\",<br>\"relationships\",<br>\"friends\",<br>\"busy\" ,<br>\"users\":[ ,<br>\"links\":[ ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/ipfs.busy.org\/ipfs\/QmaCtyjq4KUWWqWeRvK9fAwdtWH327x2Ct893sdg43S4cG\" " | | vote | "voter":"aldentan",
